Matthew 1:16-18

MLV(i) 16 and Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.


17 Therefore, all the generations from Abraham until David were fourteen generations; and from David until the exile of Babylon, were fourteen generations; and from the exile of Babylon until the Christ, were fourteen generations.


18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: for when his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant from the Holy Spirit.
